Lincoln, Neb. - The Nebraska women's gymnastics team will host an intrasquad meet on Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. in preparation for the 2013 season. The event will take place at Mabel Lee Hall and is free and open to the public.

Nebraska will perform routines on every event in Olympic order, beginning with vault and proceeding to uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Free team schedule cards will be available to fans in attendance, and the Huskers will sign autographs following the meet.

The Big Red will also welcome four true freshmen to their squad this season, including 2011 Junior Olympic national all-around champion Hollie Blanske of Anoka, Minn. Blanske will be joined by versatile and talented Overland Park, Kan., native Jordyn Beck; a powerful vault and floor performer from Chicago, Ill., in Ariel Martin; and Lincoln native and three-time Junior Olympic national qualifier Madison McConkey.
